Method

Preparing the Dough

  1. 1

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the melted unsalted butter, milk, and egg. Mix until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

Forming the Donut Holes

  1. 4

    Shape the Dough

    Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a round cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles of dough.

  2. 5

    Cut Out Donut Holes

    Use a smaller cutter or the end of a piping tip to cut out the center of each circle, creating a donut hole shape.

Frying the Donut Holes

  1. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 7

    Fry the Donut Holes

    Carefully add the donut holes to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain.

Coating the Donut Holes

  1. 8

    Mix Sugar and Cinnamon

    In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.

  2. 9

    Coat the Donut Holes

    While the donut holes are still warm, toss them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture until fully coated.
